For Your
Trailers For More Savings
The newest addition to the SmarTire technology is
SmarTire Trailer-Link TPMS. It uses the same wheel-
mounted sensors as the tractor system – along with a
combination wireless ECU/antenna on the trailer – to read
what’s happening and automatically transmit the trailer
tire alerts, pressure and temperature information data to
the existing SmarTire TPMS dash gauge.
When you pair any truck and trailer equipped with
SmarTire TPMS by Bendix, an automatic electronic
“handshake” will occur, displaying the data, and monitoring
the whole truck and trailer in minutes, with no programming
by the driver or technician required. If the tractor is not
equipped with the SmarTire
®
TPMS system, the SmarTire
Trailer-Link uses a lamp mounted to the nose of the trailer
that will blink to notify the driver there is a problem. The
lamp is mounted in an easy-to-see location when the
driver uses the side view mirror.
How SmarTire
®
TPMS by Bendix CVS Works...
On the tractor/truck: The SmarTire
®
system uses wheel-
mounted sensors in the tires, plus a wireless receiver to
read and send both tire pressure and temperature
information to an in-cab dash display. The system will alert
the driver when the tire pressure gets too low, or the
temperature gets too high.
On the trailer: Wheel-mounted sensors in the tires – along
with another wireless receiver or the trailer – read what's
happening and provide a lighted indication on a trailer-
mounted lamp that your driver can check in their
side mirror.
